Berean Standard Bible
10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works.
The Way the Truth and the Life
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you, I do not speak from myself. The Father, abiding in me, does his works.
"ῥήματα" (rhēmata) is translated "words" in its specific sense of spoken utterances, preserving that the content of Jesus' speech originates with the Father, not himself. "ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐ λαλῶ" — "I do not speak from myself" — is rendered plainly without softening, maintaining the clear sender/sent distinction: Jesus is the messenger, the Father is the source. "μένων" (abiding) is kept in its active participial force — the Father is the one acting, doing his own works through the Son.

King James Version
10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Goodspeed New Testament
10Do you not believe that I am in union with the Father and the Father is in union with me? I am not the source of the words that I say to you, but the Father who is united with me is doing these things himself.

The messages that I tell you do not come from me. They come from my Father, who has a close relationship with me. He is enabling me to teach these things, and to perform the miracles that he wants me to perform.
